Restricted and Endowed Scholarships

The generosity of our donors enables the Caruso School of Law to award annual restricted and endowed scholarships. Each year, a number of currently enrolled Caruso School of Law students are selected for these scholarships based on financial need, academic merit, and personal achievement.

These scholarships are available to currently enrolled Caruso School of Law JD students only.
